“I can deal with it myself.”

“But you don’t have to.”

“When was the last time you ate??”

“That’s none of your business.”

“Well I’m making it my business!”

Shouting and protesting, character A is roughly held back as they’re forced to watch character B get hurt

I’m sorry but something about a defiant b being grabbed by the hair and forced to make eye contact is pretty neat

“It’s no big deal.”

“It’s not ‘no big deal’, I found you half-dead on your bathroom floor!”

Creating characters to insert into the world of Durarara!! has been fun. Like so much of it is just done by messing around with doodles, what if's and further additions to the story puzzle, trying to see what fits. Why is one colour in the colour spectrum missing in this gang war? I dunno, lets insert it. What's a common strangers reaction to these people who fuck with everything? Let's find out! Is there baby? Is there enough dilfs? Who cares lets fuck around and find out. And the funny thing is, the more they last the more in debt we go into their characters. And often it's by complete accident or by chance. This character made a joke? Well lookie here now this canon character has a very deep attachment to this person now. I doodled this character in military clothes? Guess there's part of the backstory decided. Don't get me started on the ones that never made it. Many of them are lost to time, couldn't fit into the portrait. Some just straight up don't appear until much later on in these lives and very few are going to look into that window. So many buddy groups, mothers and children have disappeared now. But they make the survivors stronger and dammit if it wasn't a great time toying with them. No I'm not going to specify on any of this.

Writers get the feels too.

Writing Prompts: Here's this cool idea for you to use.

Me: >stays up, bringing myself to tears thinking up of the scenario that follows after it

You were the only child that didn’t have powers in a family of metahumans. Today you got kidnapped by a supervillain… and none of your family came to the rescue.

soulmates but not in a soft romantic way soulmates in a destined to change each other for better or for worse, cannot be who they are without each other, unstoppable together but they’re also the only ones who can defeat each other, equals, existences undeniably tied to each other way

Strangely glowing dark clouds float serenely in this remarkable and beautiful image taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. These dense, opaque dust clouds - known as “globules” - are silhouetted against nearby bright stars in the busy star-forming region, IC 2944. NASA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)

In my defence, the moon was full and I was left unsupervised.

hey babe did it hurt when you fell from heaven? it did huh, emotionally, right I get that, because of the– yeah the irreconcilable separation from goodness as a result of a single decision that can never be undone or atoned for, uh huh, sounds rough

A 392 year-old shark found in the Arctic. This guy was wandering the oceans back in 1627.

i think the crux of human misery stems from the fact that our skeleton just wants to sit around and accumulate dust in an ancient barrow (that is the innate imperative of all skeletal remains in-case you didn’t know) but our meat has its own agenda which creates this fundamental conflict of interests

take your carriage very slowly by your rival’s home, that she might see your latest hat

Yesterday night a lady came through our drive through and was like “the way the planets are aligning and the fact that we’re getting a blood moon has me worried. I sense severe werewolf activities on the horizon. You better walk your coworker to her car tonight after you’ve closed” and I didn’t even know what to say I was just like “yes ma’am”

Someone help, give me a prompt so I can make a small drabble and get motivation for writing

specifically for Leon Kennedy. from RE2 to DI

Can I kill him now?

He deserves to die after what he did to you. And I’ll bring it to him.

He doesn’t even deserve to be breathing the same air you are.

I wanna know as soon as he does anything that makes you uncomfortable.

I’ll deal with him.

I'm not going anywhere.

I want you to go to me any time he does something that freaks you out.

She's my date. Fuck off.

Why was he talking to you?

Did he want something from you?

You won't go anywhere with him.

He touches you again and I won't guarantee you I won't kill him immediately.

He said what to you?!

You go near him ever again and I'll kill him.

Is he just a friend?!

I looked everywhere for you.

I'm yours, you're mine. I don't intend on ever changing that.

You're mine. There's no changing that.

She's mine. Get lost.

You're mine. But I'm yours too. You don't have to worry about me not being loyal. There's only one woman I could ever want in my bed and that's you.

Baby, am I your first?

I hate the thought of other men touching you before me.

Just say a word and I'll kill him.

Was it your first time?

One your word and I'll take you from here.

I love the fact that I was your first.

You'll stay with me. Where you're safe and near me.

You're worried about me sleeping with other women? I don't want anyone else but you. That means I won't sleep with anyone else but you.

I won't hear another word.

He won't hurt you again, I promise.

Whether you like it or not, you're safest with me.

I don't care what you think. I won't let you come back to that motherfucker.

Yeah, I killed him! He used to hit you! What did you expect me to do?! Leave him alone?

I won't let him come near you.

I won't let you saty here. Not when you're so close to him.

Nikki is an apple farmer, people can pay to go apple picking and she sells her own apples as well. She doesn't get much money but she gets enough to be comfy overall her life was peaceful. Was peaceful. One ordinary Saturday Nikki was picking apples humming an unrecognizable tune placing apples in her basket when suddenly a shadow covered the sun. Curious Nikki looks up, expecting a cloud or maybe even just a huge flock of birds but instead her blood runs cold as she stares up at the sky. There flying right towards the poor girl is a purple and pink dragon with piercing yellow eyes and razor sharp teeth and a snarling mouth. Nikki drops her basket and starts to walk slowly away before speeding up to a run but before the apple farmer can get far a booming voice speaks up that strikes fear in her heart and stops her from running. "Mortal." Said the deep voice, Nikki takes a breath and turns over to the enlarged dragon and tried to gain her courage "Hello, mighty one" Nikki says flustered bowing down even though he's not a king "Please don't burn my farm" Her voice is trembles as she speaks "Stand" Nikki listens obediently and scrambles up refusing to look the dragon in the eye. "Mortal, I have something to ask you" the dragon says calmly, his voice shaking the trees around and nearly toppling the scared girl. "Yes?" Nikki mutters. Suddenly a puff of smoke appears. Nikki coughs trying to get the smoke out of her lungs once she's able to breath again she looks back at the dragon but instead of a dragon there is a human, he's slightly shorter the Nikki being 5'6 while Nikki is 5'8, he has light purple hair and pale blue skin his teeth are just as sharp and his eyes are just as yellow and intermediating. What stood out most about the man however is what he was holding in his arms, in the dragon's arms is a small child she has the same eyes, teeth, and hair as the man holding her but her hair is in tiny pigtails and her skin is a dull pink instead of a dull blue and she has tiny wings that look almost identical to the ones the man had when he was a dragon except smaller and blue. Her expression looks like an odd mix of sad and excited. She looks to be around two. "This is Arabella my daughter" says the dragon-man his voice is still Intimidating but it's no longer shaking the world with each word. "Um, ok?" Nikki says a little awkwardly. "She is now your daughter" the dragon-man states, tossing Arabella over and Nikki who scrambles to catch her. "What? What are you talking about?" Nikki asks, as Arabella leans forward and hugs her neck "Well you see," the dragon- man starts "Unlike most dragons Arabella is unable to turn into a full dragon or a human so I will no longer be raising her, I believe you humans call it adoption no?" "No! I mean yes technically but adoption is usually more technical not just, 'here's my kid' you know? You can't just give her to me." Nikki cries trying to gently pull the little girl off her neck "yes I can " Nikki shuts up immediately the yellow eyes are glaring at her promising death. Nikki can see her whole farm, her life's work, burning and her burning with it. "Anyway as I said her name is Arabella, she is two years old and she has no allergies. Raise her well." The last part is said as a threat despite the sentence itself seemingly innocent. After a second of awkward eye contact, smoke appears again and it throws Nikki back. She's only barely able to stay on her feet and stop the kid? Dragon? Arabella. From falling out of her arms. Nikki and Arabella look up as the dragon flies away, not even looking back after a second of watching the empty sky a tiny voice in Nikki's arm asks "Are you my new mama?" Nikki just stood there staring up at the clear sky.

"So let me get this right." Nikki's fiance,Lola,readjusts herself on her seat , taking a quick drink of the tea she made for the pair before continuing "A dragon flew down, turned into a human, threw a kid at you and left?" She questioned eyeing the dragon child running around the couch as Nikki sits there defeated. "Yeah," Nikki responds solemnly, looking dead in the chair. Lola hums a noncommittal response then she starts laughing, not even trying to hide it. "Lo' please this isn't funny we are not ready for children" Nikki cries as Arabella jumps onto the couch and starts pulling in her sleeve "Mama! Mama! Who's she?" She asks curiously pointing right at Lola. Lola takes a breath to stop laughing and gives Arabella a sweet smile "Hello my name is Lola, I'm your mom fiance!" Arabella's mouth goes into an O as she looks at Lola excitedly before turning back to her new mama curiously "What's a fiance?" Nikki sighs and sits up a little more so she's no longer slouched on the couch. "It means that we're going to marry each other." "Marry?" Nikki pauses for a second trying to come up with a good explanation but Lola beats her to it "It means dating forever " " FOREVER?!" Arabella repeats as if this is the most interesting Information she has ever heard in her short life "Forever!" Lola repeats copying the young girl's tone. "WOAH!" She exclaimed pulling on Nikki 's sleeve excitedly again "Mama! Mama!" "Hm?" Nikki glances over to her "Can I get married." Lola puts her hand over her mouth to try to cover her giggles, key word try, and Nikki just sighs still too overwhelmed to give a good response "Ask me in twenty years" "But I wanna get married now" Arabella whines pulling harder on her sleeve surprisingly strong for a two year old. Nikki just Crouch's over and hides her head in her hands, "Nikki?" Lola asks gently leaning over towards her tapping her head, "Mama?" Arabella stops pulling on her sleeve instead just gazing up at Nikki, worry clear on her tiny face. "I'm fine, I'm fine" Nikki takes a breath before finally moving her hands away from her face, "I'm sorry." Nikki and Lola look over at the tiny girl who is no longer as energized as she was only a moment ago "For what hun?" Lola asks, taking another drink of her tea Nikki copying her actions. "That I'm here" oh, the couple could feel their heart break. Lola sighs and leans back into her chair "Oh, it's not-" "It's not your fault Arabella" Nikki interrupts surprising both her fiance and her new daughter "You have nothing to be sorry for Arabella, you did nothing wrong I promise." Nikki gives the young girl a sweet smile to comfort her. Arabella pauses for a moment before smiling wide,"So you are my mama!" Arabella exclaims standing up on the couch to effectively celebrate having a new mom. Lola snorts and nudges Nikki with her foot from under the table, while Nikki tries poorly to hide her smile.

You are a humble farmer when a dragon suddenly appears, he wants you to take his young dragon daughter that is unable to turn fully into a dragon and no longer wants her, before you could respond he fly’s away leaving her behind, she then looks at you and ask “Are you my new daddie/mommy?”

drunken confessions prompt list

when too much alcohol loosens their tongue

🌀 leaning heavily on your shoulder, they slur, “you have no idea how long i’ve wanted to kiss you,” and you freeze, unsure if they mean it or if it’s just the alcohol talking.

🌀 they’re giggling uncontrollably, cheeks flushed, when they suddenly blurt out, “you know, you’re the only person who makes me this happy.” the laughter fades, replaced by an earnest gaze that’s hard to dismiss.

🌀 stumbling over their words, they confess with a shy grin, “i think about you all the time.” their eyes widen like they didn’t mean to say that out loud, but there’s no taking it back now.

🌀 sitting together in the dim light of the bar, they lean in close and whisper, “i’ve been in love with you for ages.” you almost laugh it off, until you see the serious look in their eyes, even through the haze of alcohol.

🌀 drunkenly grabbing your hand and holding it against their chest, they mumble, “my heart always does this around you, you know.” you can feel the unsteady rhythm beneath your fingertips.

🌀 they’re rambling on about nothing in particular when, out of nowhere, they look at you and say, “i would give up anything just to see you smile every day.” it catches you so off guard that you don’t know how to respond.

🌀 as you’re helping them get home, they rest their head on your shoulder and murmur, “i’m not drunk enough to lie about loving you.” the words are soft and slurred, but the sincerity in their tone is unmistakable.

🌀 they keep repeating your name over and over, like they’re savoring the sound, before letting out a dreamy sigh and admitting, “i wish you knew how much i care.”

🌀 after a few too many drinks, they look at you with bleary eyes and say, “you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” there’s a hint of desperation in their voice, like they’ve been holding onto that truth for too long.

🌀 as they sway slightly on their feet, they confess, “i’d do anything for you.” you laugh and brush it off, but they shake their head stubbornly, grabbing your hand to make sure you’re listening.

🌀 they stumble closer, eyes half-lidded and voice soft, saying, “you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel like this.” their fingers graze your arm, like they need the contact to stay grounded.

🌀 leaning in a little too close, they confess with a shaky laugh, “i don’t want you to ever be with anyone else.” the words come out rushed, like they’ve been bottled up for far too long.

🌀 slurring slightly, they admit, “i thought i could get over you.” there’s a hint of sadness in their gaze as they meet your eyes, like they’re realizing the truth for the first time.

🌀 as they’re drifting off on the couch, they grab your hand and mumble, “promise me you’ll stay.” their grip tightens slightly, like they’re afraid you’ll let go if they don’t hold on.

Brutal whump idea:

A large ring pierced through Whumpee’s mouth, below their tongue and straight through their jaw. A chain hooked to that, and used to drag them around like on a leash, tugging whenever they’re moving too slow.

Not only the pain, but it works as a permanent gag. Maybe it goes through their tongue as well. They can’t speak right. They can’t eat. Any sound comes out as a pathetic whine. They can’t close their mouth, maybe their hands are bound behind them so they can do nothing about the blood and saliva dripping down their chin.

The only thing that matters is that they certainly won’t be mouthing off to Whumper again.
